10/30/2018 11:32:00 AM | Women's Soccer
MALIBU, California — The regular-season finale, along with Senior Day, is coming up on Saturday afternoon when the Pepperdine women's soccer team hosts San Diego.
The Waves won't be able to capture a third consecutive WCC title, but they could finish second with a win and some help, while they can't place worse than a tie for third. With another victory, they remain hopeful that a bid can be secured for the NCAA Tournament.
Pepperdine will honor its seven seniors in a pregame ceremony.
MATCH #19 — Saturday (November 3) at Tari Frahm Rokus Field in Malibu, California: Pepperdine (10-6-2, 5-1-2) vs. San Diego (8-8-1, 4-4-0) at 1 p.m.
WATCH/ONLINE — Saturday's game can be seen on TheW.tv and Pepperdine Athletics Hall of Famer Al Epstein will have the call. Links to broadcasts and live stats can be found at PepperdineWaves.com.
OPPONENT — Pepperdine is 13-11-2 all-time against San Diego. The Waves have won two straight and six of the last eight. The record is 7-4-1 in the Waves' favor in Malibu. The Waves won 2-0 at home in 2016 (Hailey Stenberg and Katy Byrne had the goals) and 3-0 away in 2017 (Joelle Anderson and Calista Reyes had two of the goals).
LAST WEEK — The Waves put together two impressive defensive performances on the road, shutting out Gonzaga in a 0-0 tie and Portland in a 2-0 victory. Hailey Harbison scored on a penalty kick in the first half and Brie Welch doubled the lead in the second half at Portland. The Waves outshot the Pilots 18-2.
NOTABLE — The Waves have double-digit wins for the third straight year, the seventh time in the last eight years and the 18th time in program history ... All four of Joelle Anderson's goals this season have been game-winners and she's tied for third in the WCC in that category ... Brielle Preece is first in the WCC with both a 0.89 goals-against average and at 0.50 shutouts per game ... In the WCC team rankings, Pepperdine is first in shutouts (nine) and goals-against average (0.87) ... The Waves are 9-1-2 in the last 12 games and have only given up four goals in that time ... Thirteen players have missed at least one game due to injury, nine of which have started a game this season ... Pepperdine has had nine players make their first career starts, and 10 of the 27 players that have seen action have been true freshmen or redshirt freshmen ... The Waves are assured of a winning record at home for the 26th time in the program's 26-year history.
TICKETS — Single-game tickets at Tari Frahm Rokus Field cost $10 each for adults and $8 each for children under 12, seniors 65+ and alumni/Crest members. Groups of 10 or more can purchase tickets for $5 each.
